rd125 restroation worth it??

[steve09]

hiya
at the moment my top priaoritey is my af1,
but my boss has offered me a old rd125 the aircooled twins with the coffin shaped tank,
he will hold on too it as long as i want soo its not going ne were he wants 200-300 quid for it but it needs a rebuild and something doing to the crank (maybe a new one).
what do these bikes sell for in good working order do ya think it would be a good project?
cheers
steve

If its a Pre-82 RD125 then it won't be restricted at all, and I am pretty sure the aircooled ones were pre-1982 anyway.

You can derestrict them to about 20BHP from the 12BHP they normally put out so it maybe worth it but longevity maybe compromised.
